years ago, I watched Hitchens in an interview with Judith Regan. He discussed some details of his mother’s suicide when he was a boy, and almost cried during the interview.
I’ve been praying for him since that time. That was before I was aware of his antagonism against God, so it’s not as if I’m trying to convert him.
He is an honest man, but his rage against God reminds me of my oldest adopted son’s rage on those who tried to help him: he projected his anger on us, and on God, over his birth mother’s death...
So I pray for the healing solace of God’s mercy on his hurt.
As an adopted child, I thank you for the grace you extended toward your son.
